EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sage Ecological Services, Inc. (Sage) completed a detailed evaluation of wetlands and streams
as well as a records review of Threatened and Endangered (T&E) Species and cultural resources
on the +/- 81 acre Goodwin Property (Site) located in Holly Springs, Wake County, NC. The purpose
of this evaluation was to determine if "waters of the United States" (e.g., wetlands, streams, ponds,
etc.) exist on the Site, as well as to determine what potentially related federal and state
environmental and cultural resources regulations will be associated with the future development
of this Site. Sage completed the field evaluation in August 2021. Figure 1 shows the location of the
Site on the New Hill, NC US Geological Survey (USGS) topographical quadrangle sheet, and Figure
2 shows the Site's location on the applicable portion of the United States Department of
Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS) Soil Survey for Wake County.
The Site is within Cape Fear River Basin.
Six jurisdictional streams (SA, SB, SD, SE, SF & SH), two ponds (Pond 1 & Pond 2), ten riparian
wetlands (WA-01 - WA-05, WB, WD, WF, WG & WH) and two potentially isolated wetlands (WC-01
& WC-02) are located on the Site. Figure 3 shows the approximate location and size of the
wetlands and surface waters on the Site. A field meeting with the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) will likely be required to verify the limits of the stream and wetland delineation completed
by Sage prior to the USACE approving any proposed impacts. The Site is not within an area that
currently has state regulated riparian buffers.
Three threatened and endangered (T&E) species are listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS). No T&E species are documented on the Site per the NC Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) Database Report (Appendix C). T&E species should not have any impact on the
potential development of the Site.
The Site is not within a historic district; listed as a historic property; or shown to contain a historic
structure. NCSHPO may have comments during the wetland/stream impact permitting process,
but their comments should not prohibit development the Site.

SECTION 1
SITE DESCRIPTION
1.1 Site Location
The Site is located +/- 3.2 miles west of the interchange of Western Wake Freeway (1-540) and US
1, immediately south of US 1, Wake County, NC. The coordinates of 35.6823°N, 78.8938°W generally
correspond to the center of the Site. The Site is within the piedmont region of North Carolina and
is within the Cape Fear River Basin.
1.2 General Site Description
The Site is undeveloped and contains mostly forested areas comprised of pines and hardwood
trees. Evidence of previous logging activities are evident on the site and in historical aerial
photography. An existing, maintained utility line bisects the property and extends from east to
west. The topography of the Site ranges from a low point of +/- 300 feet above mean sea level
(msl) in the middle of the property where the drainage SA is located, to a high point of +/- 340
feet msl at the south eastern corner of the Site.
According to the US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA
NRCS) Soil Survey for Wake County, NC, the majority of the Site contains upland soils typical for
the area including the Mayodan soil series.

SECTION 2
WETLANDS
2.1 Wetland Evaluation Methodology
The wetland delineation was completed based upon the procedures specified and described in
the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" (January 1987 - Final Report) and using
the current Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Guidance (November 2010). Prior to
arriving on -site, topographical maps, soil survey maps, orthophotographs, and ArcGIS generated
maps of the area were reviewed to preliminarily identify areas (e.g., drainages, hydric soils areas,
areas showing standing water, etc.) where wetlands would likely exist.
The Site was traversed on foot and evaluated for the presence of hydric soils indicators, evidence
of wetland hydrology, and existence of hydrophytic vegetation. Data point plots were established
to identify the presence or absence of wetland indicators. At each plot location, any hydrologic
indicators were recorded, vegetation was identified, and a soil auger utilized to collect a soil core
to stratify and classify the soil properties.
2.2 Wetland Determinations
Ten riparian wetland areas are present adjacent to the drainages on the Site. Two potentially
isolated wetlands (i.e., Waters of the State) are located in the northern portion of the Site. Table 1
and Figure 3 provides additional information and the location for the identified wetland areas on
the Site.

SECTION 3
STREAMS AND SURFACE WATERS
3.1 Stream and Surface Water Evaluation Methodology
Topographical maps, soil survey maps, and aerial maps of the Site were reviewed in order to
preliminarily identify drainages where potential streams may exist. Drainages within the Site were
evaluated using the current "NC-DWQ Stream Identification Form (Version 4.11)." This form is used
to identify the stream's flow regime (i.e., ephemeral, intermittent, or perennial) as well as to identify
if a drainage is subject to riparian buffers (where applicable).
The USACE generally considers a drainage to contain a jurisdictional stream if there is an Ordinary
High -Water Mark (OHWM) or evidence of periodic concentrated flow. The NC Division of Water
Resources' (NCDWR) terms and the USACE's terms are not always synonymous and
interchangeable. The stream designations from both the USACE and NCDWR hold more
significance if impacts (e.g., road or utility crossings or general fill) are required. The NCDWR will
require mitigation for impacts to perennial streams. The USACE typically requires mitigation for
impacts to streams that are "important to aquatic function."
3.2 Stream and Surface Water Determinations
Six jurisdictional streams and two ponds are present on the Site. Stream SA (White Oak Creek) is a
perennial stream that enters the Site along the northern property boundary, flows through a
culvert under Woods Creek Road and flows south and east before it leaves the property. Stream
SIB is an intermittent stream which enters the Site from under US 1 in the northern portion of the
property and flows generally east to its confluence with Stream SA. Stream SD is an intermittent
channel which begins in the center of the property at SD01 and flows east to its confluence with
Stream SA. Stream SE is an intermittent stream which begins on the eastern side of the Site and
flows generally south to its confluence with Stream SA. Stream SF is an intermittent channel which
begins at Wetland WF in the south western corner of the Site and flows generally south off the
property. Stream SH is also an intermittent channel beginning at Wetland WH and it flows generally
east to its confluence with Stream SA. Table 2 and Figure 3 provide additional information and
approximate locations for the surface waters on the Site.

The Site is in the White Oak Creek watershed (HUC 030300040102) of the Cape Fear River Basin
and drains to White Oak Creek. White Oak Creek is classified as class "C Waters" (C). These
classifications are generated by the NC Division of Environmental Quality's (NCDEQ)
"Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Water and Wetlands of North
Carolina." Please note that the jurisdictional status of site drainages needs to be confirmed by the
USACE to be valid.

SECTION 4
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Two online datasets were queried in order to assess known federally listed species in North
Carolina. These included the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer and US Fish &
Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) web portal specific to
the Site. (Table 4). These were reviewed prior to conducting the fieldwork. The review also included
candidate species and species proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
According to the NCNHP Report dated September 1, 2021, no federally listed T&E species were
documented on the Site or within one mile of the Site. The Bald Eagle is protected in every county
in North Carolina under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; however, no suitable
feeding/water source is located within one mile of the Site.

SECTION 5
CULTURAL RESOURCES
6.1 State Historic Preservation Office Properties
A review of the NC State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) HPOWEB GIS Service website was
completed prior to initiating the fieldwork to query for the presence or absence of records
indicating historically significant sites (e.g., structures, sites, properties, etc.) on or in close proximity
to the Site. A GIS database version of the HPOWEB records was also reviewed.
The Site is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. No historic structures were
found on the Site. There are eleven properties adjacent to the Site that have been Surveyed Only
(SO). Figure 4 located in Appendix B provide a graphical representation and description of these
properties.
6.2 State Archaeological Sites
Archeological records are not typically included in the NCSHPO database and to date there is no
publicly available comprehensive listing of archeological sites in North Carolina available from the
Office of State Archeology (OSA). This agency compiles data on the state's legacy of artifacts
through application of state and federal archaeology laws and regulations, and by maintaining
inventories of site data and collections. Currently, two regulations may apply to the project if
remains or artifacts are encountered during construction. These include the Unmarked Human
Burial and Human Skeletal Remains Protection Act of NC (UHBHSR), and Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The UHBHSR applies even in the absence of a required
stream and wetland permit. The latter regulation is a requirement of a general condition to
Nationwide Permit 29 (NWP 29) which state that any previously unknown historic, cultural, or
archeological remains or artifacts which are encountered during permitted activities require
immediate notification and coordination with the applicable agency.
10

SECTION 6
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Sage Ecological Services, Inc. (Sage) completed a detailed evaluation of wetlands and streams
as well as a records review of T&E species and listed state historical properties on the +/- 81-acre
Site.
Six jurisdictional streams, two ponds, ten jurisdictional wetlands and two potentially isolated
wetlands (Waters of the State) are located on the Site. A field verification meeting with the USACE
will likely be necessary to obtain approval of the stream and wetland delineation. The attached
Agent Authorization Form found in Appendix E will need to be completed and signed by the
current property owner(s) in order for Sage to initiate correspondence with the USACE for the Site.
Features determined to be jurisdictional (regulated by the USACE and/or the NCDWR) should be
located by a licensed surveyor in order to produce a survey for the approval as well as for final
planning purposes.
No T&E species are documented to occur on the Site or within 1.0 mile of the Site. The
development of the Site should not be prevented by federally listed T&E species; however, the
USACE may request additional information regarding the potential habitat of specific species
during the permitting process.
The Site is not listed as a historic property and is not within an historic district. The proposed activities
for the Site should not be affected by historic properties.
Depending on the final site plan, a federal wetlands permit, state water quality certification and
concurrence from NCSHPO may be required to develop this Site. Sage is available to assist with
preparing the aforementioned documents for submittal and/or to conduct or coordinate any
required additional surveys. Impacts to wetlands and/or streams that result from the construction
of residential development typically utilize the Nationwide Permit 29 (NWP 29) with the USACE and
the corresponding General Certification 4256 (GC 4256) with the NCDWR. NWP 29 limits discharge
(i.e., fill) to 0.5 acre of non -tidal waters of the United States for a single and complete project.
Impacts that exceed these limits typically require mitigation (i.e., payment for the replacement of
a wetland somewhere else). The concurrent nationwide permitting process with the USACE and
the corresponding general certification process with the NCDWR takes 45 days and 60 days,
respectively.

RE: Goodwin Property; 2021.118
Dear Sean Clark:
Roy Cooper, Governor
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Waiter Clark
Director, Division of Land and water Stewardship
NCN H D E-15598
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.aov/offices/Di rectory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a)ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

IPaC resource list
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as
critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project
area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the
project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the
project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have
on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g„ �. V11%4
vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed
activities) information. �4
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for
the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the
introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS
Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources
addressed in that section,

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an
analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each
species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI
includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by
activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish
does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or
eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can
change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project
area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and
project -specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the
Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may he
present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted,
funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list
which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list
from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local
field office directly. ow*
! *
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC
website and request an off idai species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project locatlon and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPEC;ES UST.
Listed species-1 and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown
on this list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under theirjurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC
also shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location, To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how
this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this
location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To
see exact locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and
around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip; enter your location,
desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic
Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of
bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast
birds, and other important information about your migratory bird list, Including how to
properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below.

Probability of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most
likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and
schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure
you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bard
Report" before Lasing or attempting to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid
cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as
12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The
survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence
score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey
effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events
6 of 12 8/31/2021, 6:19 PM

INC: Explore Location resources https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/7V6W6I7NZNAVHKDV3UEXJETF...
in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey
events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the
Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted
Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of
presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of
presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative
probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a
statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is
the probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season (
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds
across its entire range, if there are no yellow bars shown for a bi rd, it does not breed in
your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of
surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The
number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (-)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently
relevant information, The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird
returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently
much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to
migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all
birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when

birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying
the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization
measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the
Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the
type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project
site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other
species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledgg
Network (AKN . The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science
datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 1Okm grid
cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention
because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species
that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project
area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds
potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided
by the Avian Knowledge Network. (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of s_ urvey,.
bandin-Q. and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes
available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to
interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these
graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering,
migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All
About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding
season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at
some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does
not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout
9 of 12 8/31/2021, 6:19 PM

INC: Explore Location resources
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/locatiort/7V6W617NZNAVHKDV3UEXJETF...
their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the
Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs)
in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either
because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in
offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or
longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in
particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of
rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid
and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
N&I
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and
groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean
Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be
helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files
underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCQS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive
Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance an the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project
webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the
year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For
additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies
or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of
priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what
other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the
migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the
"probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact
project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by
the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high
survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score
can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of
data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply
a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when
they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps
you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement

of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography.
A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any
particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through
image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the
image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth
verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source
imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work.
There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information
depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of
aerial imagery as the primary data source used t❑ detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses ❑r
submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidaI zones of estuaries and
nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also
been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial
imagery. C \
Data precautions r4&4*IMi
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe
wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design
or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietaryjurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local
government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies.
Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas
should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency
regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.

Re Project: THE YIELD North Master Plan ("Goodwin")
This document confirms that CC YIELD North LLC (Applicant) for the THE YIELD North Master Plan ("Goodwin")
(Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 0.42 Riparian Wetland Mitigation Credits from the EBX-Neuse sponsored
Neu -Con Wetland & Stream Umbrella Mitigation Bank, specifically wetland credits from the Marston Site, in the Neuse HUC
03020204. As the official Bank Sponsor, EBX-Neuse I, LLC, attests to the fact that mitigation is available for reservation at
this time.
These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate purposes by
the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the issuance of a Mitigation Credit
Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker
has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation obligation requiring the credits/units.
The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the purchase price. Banker
shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and a documented copy of the debit of
credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit number and the resource type secured by the
applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to
regulatory agencies showing the proper documentation.
If any questions need to be answered, please contact me at 919-209-1055 or [e-mail].

❑A ❑B ❑C ❑D
22. Hydrologic Connectivity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for riparian wetlands and Salt/Brackish Marsh only)
Examples of activities that may severely alter hydrologic connectivity include intensive ditching, fill, sedimentation, channelization, diversion,
man-made berms, beaver dams, and stream incision. Documentation required if evaluated as B, C, or D.
®A Overbank and overland flow are not severely altered in the assessment area.
❑B Overbankflow is severely altered in the assessment area.
❑C Overland flow is severely altered in the assessment area.
❑D Both overbank and overland flow are severely altered in the assessment area.
Notes
This wetland flows into a small intermittent stream. The wetland is well buffered by forested areas and then a previously clearcut forested area
begins. That area is now made up of early successional growth. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Wake County was not under drought
conditions at the time of the assessment.

Notes
The wetland feature is upslope of a POW feature and surrounded by a forested buffer. There are previously clearcut areas south of the wetland,
which are now represented by early successional growth. However, the forested buffer separates the wetland from the early successional growth.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Wake County was not under drought conditions at the time of the assessment.

Notes
The wetland feature is located between two pond features, which are altering the overland flow that the wetland would normally be getting. The
water storage capacity and duration are altered, but not substantially. The wetland area shows evidence of short -duration inundation with the
presence of iron -oxidizing bacteria. The wetland area is buffered by mature mixed hardwood and pine forests, which is adjacent to clearcut areas
to the south. These areas are now represented by early successional growth. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Wake County was not under
drought conditions at the time of the assessment.

Notes
The wetland area is surrounded by an approximately 50-foot wide mixed hardwood and pine forest buffering the wetland from clearcut areas to
the north, east and west of the feature. The clearcut areas are now made up of early successional growth. The water storage capacity and
duration are slightly altered by the clearcutting surrounding the feature, but no sufficient enough to change the vegetation. The vegetation within
the wetland is mostly native species, but approximately 10% is made up of Japanese stiltgrass. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Wake
County was not under drought conditions at the time of the assessment.

Notes/Sketch:
The stream is located downslope of a pond feature, which could affect the flow rates of the stream. This is altering the feature pattern due to high
accelerated flow from the pond downslope of the culvert. Approximately 10 amphipods, one dobsonfly larvae and one fingernail clam were
observed within the stream. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Wake County was not under drought conditions at the time of the assessment.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered

08/31/2023
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7

Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what-
we-do.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation-
migratory-birds.

PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the

08/31/2023 8
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( 1)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits

08/31/2023 10
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL)Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);

08/31/2023 11
2. 'BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,

08/31/2023

should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

RE: THE YIELD North Master Plan ("Goodwin") - Commercial Development; 54318
Dear Kate Hefner:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

Thanks for being proactive and surveying. Based on the information you've provided and a review of data
available to me, I don't have any concerns for listed species from the project. Please be aware that tricolored
bat has been proposed for listing as endangered and may be listed as soon as September. I am not able at this
time to determine whether you project may affect tricolored bat, but can work with the Corps after listing if
needed. If I have identified the site correctly, it looks like it has been clear-cut, so tree -cutting may not be an
issue.
Please note that I am teleworking Wednesday through Friday, every week. Email is the best way to reach

Hi Kathy!
Thank you for sending your availability and your recommendation of no additional aquatic surveys. Would you be able
to verify no other species concerns?
On nearby projects we had some potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac so surveys were performed and no
occurrences found. This site is a mix of overgrown/shaded areas and well maintained areas, so we do not anticipate
suitable habitat or any occurrence based on our surveys of the surrounding properties.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Hey Kathy,
That should be plenty of time to complete the survey as originally planned. After finally contacting the state, we should
receive our permits by Tuesday or Wednesday next week, and then we can start the fieldwork.
Thank you for the extension and the quick response!

Hi Wes,
I have been allowing surveys in the piedmont until September 15, on a case -by -case basis. I think I would
rather see you do the surveys you planned a little later in the month. Do you think September 15 will give
you time to get your amended permit?
Please note that 1 am teleworking Wednesday through Friday, every week. Email is the best way to reach

Hey Kathy,
We are still awaiting amended permits for this project and since the season is only a few days away, would it be
acceptable to set up five nets for two nights at one site to get the 10 net nights of effort? We will still follow all survey
protocols and will have at least one technician and one permitted person on site.
Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss.
Thanks!

SUMMER MIST -NET SURVEY FOR THE PROPOSED
ENDANGERED TRICOLORED BAT (PERIMYOTIS
SUBFLAVUS) AT THE PROPOSED YIELD NORTH ROAD
WIDENING PROJECT, WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
PREPARED BY:
Apogee, Inc.
PREPARED FOR:
Timmons Group and North Carolina U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
APOGEE PROJECT NUMBER:
23-1220.00
September 2023

OAL POGee
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Timmons Group has proposed the Yield North Road Widening Project in Wake County, North Carolina.
The project area of interest (AOI) consists of approximately 35 acres of trees greater than three inches
diameter at breast height (DBH) to be cleared.
Apogee, Inc. (Apogee) was contracted in July 2023 by Timmons Group to conduct a presence/absence
mist -netting survey with regard to the proposed endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) for the
Yield North Road Widening Project. The survey was conducted within the AOI on the nights of August 18th
through 21', 2023. Forests onsite were primarily comprised of mid -successional, moderately xeric to
mesic white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), loblolly pine
(Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) mixed
deciduous forest. The AOI also contained old forest roads/ATV trails.
Summer roosting habitat located within the proposed AOI was generally observed to be of low- to
moderate quality. Early successional trees species displaying cavities or trees displaying sloughing bark
were observed onsite. Feeding areas (e.g., canopy gaps, open fields, herbaceous fields, and stream
corridors) occurred within or near the ACL Main corridors consisted of trails, openings and edges, and
natural stream corridors.
Two sites consisting of five net nights each (ten net nights of survey effort total for the project) were
established along primary corridors within the AOI in an attempt to capture bats. A total of eleven (11)
bats consisting of two species were captured onsite; four (4) were the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus)
and seven (7) were the eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). No tricolored bats were documented. The
results of this survey suggest that this species is not utilizing the project area.
A probable absence determination was made with regard to tricolored bats. These results suggest that
project development will not cause direct or indirect adverse effects to tricolored bats, or any other
threatened or endangered bat species. The site contained no apparent rock outcroppings, caves, or mine
portals. Apogee recommends coordination with the North Carolina U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(NCUSFWS) for concurrence with the findings of this survey.

INTRODUCTION
Apogee was contracted by Timmons Group to assess the status of the proposed endangered tricolored
bat for the proposed Yield North Road Widening Project in Wake County, North Carolina. Apogee is
submitting this bat survey report on behalf of Timmons Group to fulfill the requirements set forth by the
USFWS and for the permitting process to fulfill Section 7 requirements set forth by the USFWS.
3.0 PRUAL11 LUCATION
The project area is located approximately 0.95 miles southeast of Friendship, North Carolina on the New
Hill United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Quadrangle. The approximate center of the
project area is located at 35.681870°,-78.894170°. The proposed road widening covers approximately 35
acres consisting of forest with trees greater than three inches DBH. The land use within and surrounding
the project area is primarily forest, roads, and an elementary school. Topography in the project area is
characterized as generally flat with elevations ranging between 290 — 370 feet above sea level. Project
location maps can be found in Appendix A.
1+.0 METHODS
4.1 Mist -net Locations
The level of survey effort was based on the surface disturbance of potential tricolored bat habitat within
the project area (approximately 35 acres). Summer mist -net surveys were conducted at two (2) sites, five
net nights per site, for a total of 10 net nights of survey effort. Surveys were conducted from August 18th
through August 215T, 2023. Surveys strictly followed methods set forth by the 20231ndiana Bat & Northern
Long-eared Bat Survey Guidelines (USFWS).
Nets were spaced at least 100 feet (30 meters) apart so as not to interfere with each other. Mist -net sets
per site were evenly distributed throughout suitable habitat without over -sampling individual habitat
features (e.g., three or more mist -net sets on a single travel corridor or stream). A minimum of two (2)
biologists (e.g., one qualified and one technician) were present per site for every four (4) net -sets being
operated. Net locations were selected in areas that provided preferred habitat for tricolored bats where
available. Preferred habitat includes potential travel corridors (e.g., streams, logging trails, roads) as well
as other edge habitats (e.g., other water sources, field edges) and interior forest. Nets filled corridors
from side to side, extending beyond the corridor boundaries when possible, and from ground level up to
the overhanging canopy where possible. When nets were placed over water, nets were slightly raised
above the surface of the water so that captured bats did not get wet. Surveys were conducted using black
nylon mist -nets (38mm mesh) ranging from 2.6m to 7.8m high, consisting of one or more nets stacked on
top of one another, and from 2.6m to 18m wide.
4.2 Survey Period
Nets were opened approximately 10 minutes before sunset and checked every 10 minutes for at least five
hours. Care was taken to minimize noise, lights, and movement near the nets. Biologists were prepared
to cut the net if a bat was severely entangled and could not be safely extracted within three or four
minutes. Surveys were not conducted in certain weather conditions including: (a) temperatures below
50°F (10°C) during the first five hours of survey period; (b) precipitation that exceeded 30 minutes or
continued intermittently during the first five hours of the survey, and (c) sustained wind speeds greater
than nine miles/hour during the first five hours of the survey period.

4.3 Morphological Data Collected
The capture time, species, age, sex, reproductive condition, right forearm (RFA) length, mass, Reichard's
wing damage index score, net, and net capture height were recorded for any bats captured. Additionally,
band number and transmitter frequency (if applicable) of each captured target species was recorded if
caught. Bat identification was performed by a qualified state permitted bat biologist. Completed data
sheets can be found in Appendix B.
4.4 White -Nose Syndrome
In an effort to minimize the potential transmission of white -nose syndrome on captured bats, all netting
and field activities followed the most recent decontamination protocols (October 2020) set forth by the
USFWS. All disposable scientific equipment (bags and exam gloves) were used on only one bat and then
discarded. All submersible equipment (mist -nets and ropes) were submersed in hot water that
maintained a temperature of at least 55°C (131°F) for a minimum of five minutes on a nightly basis. All
non -submersible equipment (rulers, calipers, and scales) was wiped down with Lysol° IC Quaternary
Disinfectant Cleaner Wipes after each use between bats. Poles were wiped down at the end of each night.
4.5 Habitat Assessment
Biologists followed methods set forth by the USFWS while conducting the habitat assessment. Field
reconnaissance was conducted throughout the entirety of the project area before initiation of the survey
to determine the highest quality net site locations.
A. Summer Habitat
In order to assess the permit area for potential summer habitat, biologists conducted a
desktop review of the AOI. The most recent aerial photography was used to delineate non -
forested and forested areas within the AOI and to determine the distance to available water
sources. The onsite habitat assessment involved the characterization of forest cover types
near net sites, including overall composition (i.e., species, successional stage, etc.) and
qualitative assessment of habitat suitability (i.e., potential roost trees, riparian/upland
corridors, forest understory clutter, etc.).
B. Winter Habitat
In order to determine if potential winter habitat was present within the permit area, qualified
biologists reviewed karst occurrence, mining history, and environmental resource maps to
determine if any open abandoned mines or karst areas were present within or adjacent to the
AOI.
5.0 RESULTS
5.1 Bat Captures
A total of eleven (11) individual bats consisting of two species were captured; four (4) were the big brown
bat and seven (7) were the eastern red bat. No tricolored bats were documented. See Table 1 for a
summary of bat captures. Data sheets can be found in Appendix B.
5.2 Radio Telemetry
No tricolored bats were captured during survey efforts; therefore, no radio telemetry or roost tree
emergence counts were conducted.

5.3 Habitat Assessment
A. Summer Habitat
Desktop review of the most recent aerial photography and field reconnaissance determined
there to be potential tricolored bat summer habitat consisting of forest and other lands with
snags and greater than three inches DBH. Water sources were limited within or adjacent to
the proposed permit area.
B. Winter Habitat
No caves, rock shelters, or abandoned underground mines were observed during the field
reconnaissance. Review of the karst occurrence, mining history, and environmental resource
maps also showed no previously identified portals within the project area.

DISCUSSION
Mist net surveys were conducted at the proposed Yield North Road Widening Project from August 181n
through August 21", 2023. Surveys were conducted at the request of Timmons Group due to the proposed
removal of trees outside the winter tree clearing period (November 15-March 31). This mist -net survey
was conducted with the appropriate level of effort and under the appropriate conditions to investigate
presence/absence of tricolored bats. A total of eleven (11) individual bats consisting of two species were
captured onsite. No tricolored bats were documented. The results of this survey indicate that the project
will not likely adversely affect tricolored bat or any other listed bat species' populations in the area.
Apogee recommends coordination with the USFWS for concurrence with the findings of this survey.
